All i want for Christmas...

I've been waiting more for this Chrismas than any other

little kid in the world!! I had a really crappy year with a terrible group of people at school. The biggest blessing i had this year was my Musical Academy and all the people i met over there, but we only shared like twice a week together, and so i kinda missed them from time to time.

I was trully looking forward for this year to end, and now, finally, it had come to an end (a very deserved one) and i can't believe it! Finally!

I ended up really exhausted after some things (situations, better saying) that i dealed with during this year, and i can not believe that i'll be leaving to the beach in less than a week now. I sware i couldn't be any more excited!!:)
Hope to have a million better things for next year, a million more adventures and a million more things to be thankful for. Here there's some of them, and, also, people to remember and my new year's resolution for 2010!

*Things I'm thankful for this year:

The Jonas Brothers concert (and the amazing day i lived while they were here! can't believe how close i was to them!!)
The Julio Bocca institute (and all the amazing people i met there!!)
All the great times i went to the theater (on and off stage: Caravan: The jazz musical, The Phantom of the Opera, Spring, and more at Maipo theater!!)
The fact that i didn't have any summer school this year, and i did so great at my school subjects!
All the artistic knowledge i got this year (all the experience i achieved and stuff)
The day i met Julio Bocca in person:)
My healthy slimdown, the fact that i'm eating less and that i look better than the last summer;)
I'm also thankful that i could fall in love again, even though it was just for a bit, and that it didn't turn out quite the way i wanted...
And probably, i'm thankful for more thigs i cannot even remember right now!

*People i wish can rest in peace...

Jett Travolta (April 12th 1992 - January 2nd 2009)
Natasha Richardson (May 11th 1963 - March 18th 2009)
David Carradine (December 8th 1936 - June 3rd 2009)
Farrah Fawcett (February 2nd 1947 - June 25th 2009)
Michael Jackson (August 29th 1958 - June 25th 2009)
Karl Malden (March 22nd 1912 - July 1st 2009)
John Hughes (February 18th 1950 - August 6th 2009)
Patrick Swayze (August 18th 1952 - September 14th 2009)
Mercedes Sosa (July 9th 1935 - October 4th 2009)
Soupy Sales (January 28th 1926 - October 22nd 2009)
Brittany Murphy (November 10th 1977 - December 20th 2009)
And many others (celebs, family members, family friends, etc.) who also left us as time went by this year...

*New year's resolutions 2010:

To do even better at Julio Bocca's. I really wanna be at the head of the class this year, and i wanna keep perfectioning my dance technique and others.
To hold on during this last year at this f*cking school (and to hang with new people, not the lame creeps i had to be with this year)
To keep doing great at school (academically speaking, off course) no summer school again!
To enjoy everyday the most i can!
To get my prom sweater done with my school, and my prom trip and party with my previous school (have the best time at those ones!!)
To keep excercising your body everyday (and to loose all your extra pounds for the prom trip, that's your challenge this year!!)
To find out more about colleges: IUNA and CIC :) choose one, please...
To put on retainers for once and for all on your teeth (and i beg u to insist dad about this!!)
To enjoy this year better than the last one cause, you know what? It's your last year before college!! (fck!!)
To try to meet new people (i know how sad this sounds but, meet some guys, please. Don't wanna end up alone again)
To try to get some new acting jobs (You didn't work at all this year, only studied)
And more, always go back for more!!(L)

XOXO; 2009's Barbara Pombo:)

Who are the real Freaks here?

This film is obviously one of the many you should see before you die,but certainly one of the most important ones. It's short, simple, andamazing!! I gotta say it just blew my mind in a way not many otherfilms have, and it touched my heart in a way no other film have. Imean, it didn't only make me cry a few times while watching it, but italso did something bigger in me: it totally changed my vision over theworld, something that didn't happen to me since i've seen "AmericanBeauty" for the very first time. I also gotta give my "two thumbs up"grade to both great actors (who were also brother and sister,apparently) Harry and Daisy Earles, two endearing characters of thefilm. Also my biggest congrats to all of the rest of the cast,specially the lovely "freaks" that, while watching this film, i couldonly think of how much i would have loved to give them my support and love like nobody else had...

Hollywood vs. Broadway

Oh, yes, my two loves. My true loves, too.

So different, so similar. the comedy, the tragedy. They both have 'em.

They're Oscar and Tony. They' re the hills and the boards. Screens and Stages.

I could keep writing about it, but it doesn't make any sense. No matter what I write about, Hollywood wins:)

Oh, this picture...my two beloved and biggest celebrity crushes. Or what i love to call...Hollywood Treats!! Well, they're my most important ones. Robert Pattinson and Joshua Jackson at the latest Cannes Film Festival. I don't mean to sound unprofessional but, yum!

Here's a video of Joshua Jackson hosting Saturday Night Live in the year 2000. Musical guest: N'Sync. It's a really short video but,...I love him!!(L)

Letter to a friend

Dear L:
I'm sorry i copied this FG from your blog. I just truly loved it. I wanted to tell you in this small text, how much you mean to me.
I found myself reading my fotolog earlier this morning, though i was there only to close my account. But i didn't. I started reading, reading for real...and there was this picture you posted on January, with a huge comment below it. You were saying how much you were gonna miss me this year, and then you started telling stories about our vacations together in Miramar when we were 12 or 13 years old. You had no idea back then, that i was about to invite you to Miramar that very same year once again.
Now i'm remembering when we got together last Friday and started talking about our latest summer in Miramar. I remember our laughs, and smiles, and i realize that during this year, though we couldn't hang out as much as other years, we're inseparable. And there's nothing i want more for this summer, than having you back again. Let's laugh, let's have fun, let's fool around a little bit with strangers (unless you're not single, then we just fool around, and then leave those suckers alone, haha). But what I really want, is to have again some of those beautiful memories in my mind with someone as endearing as you, my friend. With someone I know and adore as much as you. With someone as important to me, as you. I guess what I'm trying to say is, I love you(L) always have, and always will.

XOXO

My Fringe review at IMDB

I gotta say I didn't had too much hopes for this show on it's first two episodes, but while watching it every since until now, i can honestly say how mistaken i was. The second season particularly is very amusing and it caught me after every episode. You could say this is somehow the "X Files" young sister. Not to mention the special effects are really great and convincing (something sometimes really hard to find in a TV show). On what comes to the performances, Anna Torv could do a little better as the FBI Agent Oliva Dunham, but i believe her performance has even become more convincing during this second season as well. Joshua Jackson really surprised me with his smart yet stubborn Peter Bishop, when i realized "hey, this guy can truly act" i mean i was afraid it was gonna be some sort of older Pacey Witter (the role his always known for, from his previous TV show hit "Dawson's Creek") and i must say he proved me wrong, cause this role is nothing like it and, as an actress myself, i was really shocked by the way he putted the Pacey alter-ego aside to play this other role. On what comes to Walter Bishop and Agent Astrid Farsworth, i must say just how much i love them. They're this magnificent endearing duet, which is hard to find on Sci-Fi/drama TV series. John Noble is already known as a very versatile actor and i love the way he imagined this character was supposed to be and then again, they way he plays it. Jasika Nicole is, or at least her character, somebody i could be friends with that is, at the same time smart, and fits great on the Fringe Division team. I still have my doubts about characters like Nina Sharp and Agent Broyles, but still are part of an amazing cast. Barbara Pombo.

Merry Little Christmas

What you mean to me...

...I have no words to say how much, but it's easier to write it down with letters. This image belongs to our last day together, and even though not all of you are in it, this goes to absolutely all of you.
The start wasn't easy, it never is. But somehow, i fell in love. With all of you, cause...i wasn't so sure if i was ever gonna find more people like me. Like us. Children of the revolution, prototypes of artists, really passioned young fellas, with dreams and hopes instead of drugs and guns.
But then...i met you. This fantastic group, there'll never be another just like it. It would be just impossible, you know?
I mean, we're not even gonna be together next year, and that kinda bumms me out, but i hope we can all have new groups, with new amazing cool people, though nothing will be the same. How much you mean to me? You're priceless to me, you make my day (twice a week to be exact) and i like to believe i kinda did the same thing to all of you, just a bit. You're the greatest thing that happened to me this year, you're unforgettable and, no matter if there's some flaws bout some of you that i don't quite like,...i still wouldn't stop sharing all my friday nights and saturday mornings with all of you. Cause you're pretty much a part of me up to this moment, you're like my second family, and there's nothing that will ever make me forget about all the things you did for me.
So i wanna thank you all: Evelyn B. for being the coolest and with a smile upon your face no matter what. Cinthia for being so adorable and endering and always hanging around for some B.A. touring, if you know what i mean. Santiago for there's no better acting partner i've ever had than you, for being so professional about everything we do on this institute, without losing your passion about it. I consider myself very lucky to meet somebody like you. And to the rest of you (cause, man, you're just so many!!) the Sophies, the Martinas, the Juliets, the other Evelyn, the Pilars, Ines, Danielle, Camille, Florence, Adriana (Grechu!), Lola, Valerie, Geraldine, Sol, Michelle, Macarena, and the rest of you (cause that is all i can remember!!)

I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART!!(L)

Barbie.
